IKEA furniture is affordable and functional, but also ridiculously frustrating. (How can one Allen wrench cause so much emotional stress?) Luckily, the retailer has come up with just the solution: furniture that gives you a pep talk. Yes, seriously.

The Motivational Mirror, currently on display at IKEA's store in London, uses Kinect motion sensor technology combined with computer coding to give personalized messages depending on what you look like and what you're wearing. A delightful British accent tells shoppers how great they're looking.

Though it's just a promotional prototype for now, let's hope IKEA actually starts selling these. Because what could be better than a well-placed compliment after you've sweated through an afternoon building that new dresser?
